Alexandor the Great
Alexandor Furs A.Giguere opened in 1899 and had been a fixture on the Montreal fur scene ever since. When Sam Yarrow and his wife both passed away recently, the spirit of the shop was gone (not even counting the current economic times re big ticket items), so co-owner, Eliott Shuchat and their heirs decided to shut the doors. Inventory has been bought by Labelle Fourrure, on St. Hubert St. (open since 1910 and still in the family) but there are still goodies up for grabs at the store for up to 75% off on fur, fur-liners, shearling and fur accessories. If you go, there’s free indoor parking.
